  comment = {This is really for databases. They identify two types of file
  access: one where the file can be operated on as a set of subfiles, each
  independently by a processor (what they call MIMD mode), and another where
  the file must be operated on with a centralized control (SIMD mode), in their
  case to search a B-tree whose nodes span the set of processors. Basically it
  is a host connected to a controller, that is connected to a set of small I/O
  processors, each of which has access to disk. In many ways a uniprocessor
  perspective. Paper design, with simulation results.}
